OK, it's not exactly Irish coffee, but Bailey's+coffee+bacon marshmallow is some kind of tasty, my friends.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Burrel and Kate, much ~~ma to you and my condolences. I hope that in one instance a safe solution is found, and in the other, I suppose only peace is possible, or not. How horrible.
And ita !, I know this means diddly squat, but your preserverance in the face of all this personal physical agony is astounding and agonizing to even witness. And yet you're fucking here and persevering, and I wish you didn't have to, but you are amazing. All my strength to you to kick everyone in the ass and get what you need.
Health~~ma to all.

Oh my!
Kate, I am sorry for your loss.
Burrell, I do wish there was more that I could do than send along wishes for strength and peace. I surely have been in the role of advocate on more than one occasion when my loved ones were suffering. All we can hope for is for someone to fight our fights and follow our decisions when we are too weak to fight for ourselves. It is a blessing that your sister has you by her side. I wish it was easier on all of you, but it is one of the hardest things to go through. I'm holding you and yours in my heart.

Kate & Burrell, may you both find a peaceful place within where you are. I hope this stays a safe place for you to seek out.
I had something else, but I forget. Been that kinda day.

Burrell, my thoughts are with you, your sister, and all your family. Like everyone said, I'm glad this place is here for you and all of us in rough times. It really is a blessing.
And lisah, I don't think I ever expressed my condolences for your friends. If there's anything I can do, please let me know.
Maria, the neighborhood is collecting housewares, toiletries, and clothing for the family. If there's anything you have to donate, I'm sure we could arrange a pick up. Or, of course, if you want to come hang out in Bmore anytime we should totally do that!!

Huh. I just got my first actually useful message on LinkedIn -- an HR person from an impressive and exciting organization that is hiring.
Weird, that happened to me today too. Well, not from an impressive or exciting org but from an actual local software company that I've heard of.

Oh, Burrell, I'm sorry. I don't know what to hope for, except peace and strength to all of you. I'm glad we're here for you, even if it does make you cry sometimes.
I had a nice day, including a lovely visit with my niece. However my brother's bonehead dog (the big dumb beautiful male) had to have emergency surgery to remove a very long sock that was blocking his digestion. This in addition to the sock he barfed up on Sunday. This dog is so lucky his owners are wealthy enough to keep saving his life: this is the third time he's had to have surgery after eating something stupid.
Yay for advanced veterinary medicine, though.
